The romantic comedy Just Married is getting the worst reviews of the year. We mention that not just because it's the only film released so far this year, but because it's hard to imagine any film being clobbered worse. Lou Lumenick in the New York Post, for example, writes: Truth is, January is when Hollywood traditionally buries mistakes that might have been more mercifully sent straight to video -- though this one is barely worth a rental on 2-for-1 night, much less a splurge of $10 for a multiplex ticket. John Petraki in the Chicago Tribune writes similarly that Just Married is what industry people refer to as 'January Junk,' cinematic flotsam that gets tossed ashore once they have cleared the shelves of Oscar contenders. Chris Kaltenback in the Baltimore Sun says that the movie suffers from the worst problem a comedy can have; it simply isn't funny. Some of the reviews are, however. Jack Mathews in the New York Daily News says that the movie entertained me in the same way Ben Stiller's zipper entertained him in There's Something About Mary. Kevin Thomas in the Los Angeles Times remarks that it's like a bright and shiny package tied up neatly with a ribbon, but there's nothing inside it. And Bob Strauss in the Los Angeles Daily News observes, The film's stars {Ashton Kutcher and Brittany Murphy) are now dating each other. That makes two people on Earth who got something worthwhile out of Just Married..
